What's on my mind today?? A million things as usual...so many things to get done before josh leaves..
He is still working his job as a mechanic at the armory in ravenna 4 days a week 10 hours a day. so that leaves 3 more weekends to get things done and visit everyone that we want to before he leaves. Well this weekend is Easter. Saturday we are going easter shopping for the kids. Which apparently the "easter bunny" visited my mom's house in florida because she shipped 3 big boxes of stuff for Kohen and Kaelyn. Sunday we are going to do our own easter festivities and then head over to my grandma's house around 2.
Monday Josh wants to complete his obsessions of tattoos and get 2 more. We also have to go and get a military ID card for Kohen and I. That way we can get full military benefits while he is gone such as medical and shopping..discounts..among other things.
Next weekend we are going to his dad's house all day saturday to spend time with his dad, stepmom. and little sister. Sunday is Alicia's house warming party..
The weekend of the 25th and 26th, the family and I are attending an informational meeting for the families of soldiers being deployed...that night we are supposed to have josh's going away party..the next day my dad and my stepmom are having a steak dinner for josh and immediate family. BUSY BUSY!!!
So much to think about.. other things that HAVE to get done before he leaves is general power of attorney and we are able to get a 6% interest rate on our car loan while he is deployed (AWESOME!) so we have to submit the papers for that. The kids and I get full benefits (health wise) while he is gone with tricare so we have to find a family doctor that accepts that. From what I hear the benefits are amazing. (duh it's the government!)
We REALLY want to buy a house when he gets back. and since everything he makes over there is tax free I want to use that extra money to pay off our debt and put a little aside each month for our down payment. as of right now I can't even get a prepaid visa card (lol j/k but you get the point..) I want to have at least 10,000 saved up within the year and a half for a down payment for a house.
So..I have also been making plans for things to do while he is gone...
I HAVE to quit smoking..it's killing me..literally... and I want to lose weight. at least 10 lbs. My face and stomach both look totally fat. Others might slap me in the face for thinking this way but I have always been tiny and I prefer myself that way. I'm not going crazy and losing like 20 lbs or anything but I know I could be more in shape. I want to start excercising and eating healthy. especially if I am going to florida this summer... this postpreggo body is NOT going into a bathing suit... with the first 2 kids the weight just kinda shed off.. but it seems like I am getting fatter by the day...of course the extra calories from drinking beer isn't helping lol
alright well, as usual..the baby keeps crying and kohen is driving me nuts...
